My 3-year-old mini Australian Shepherd appears to be constipated. He strains and produces very little fecal material, and this has been ongoing for a few days. He went two days without producing any stool. I changed his diet to white rice and boiled chicken, which improved his appetite. He is drinking water and has no gut sensitivity. His gums are pink and wet, but not slobbery. Does he need to be seen by his local vet or should I try a constipation home remedy?

My dog is experiencing weight loss, vomiting after eating, and is very thin. He wolfs down his food and then behaves like his food didn't go down, leading to vomiting. I have tried several types of dog food, but he keeps down tuna better than any dog food. I am currently unemployed and do not have the funds to take him to a vet for an exam and tests. What can I do to help my dog?

My dog was recently diagnosed with a trigeminal nerve sheath tumor and I was curious about the treatments and success rates. He was hit by a car a month ago, which might have caused the tumor. What are the chances of it not being cancerous, and what should I do next?
